'Black clouds' = 'rain', I've got...

There is a certain colour to the sky and a certain feeling in the air that makes it 'look' like snow, I spent 20 years as a horticulturist and teacher of horticulture and one develops a 'feel' for these things.Sorry if that's a bit vague.

Re: looks like

I suddenly feel as if I've been 'colour-blind', weather-wise, and only now have become aware that others see something in skies I don't!

All those years in Australia; and now, it's quite some talk here in SW Scotland if we get a coating of snow...usually overnight, and all melted by midday. Maybe this faculty atrophied!
My earliest memory, when I was young and still in England, was of merely standing at the window, begging the sky, praying for a White Christmas. Now I realize: instead of superstitious magical thinking, I should have been scanning the sky for signs...or looked to my skin or innards for this 'feel'!!.
Forget that 'old time religion' and spirituality: gimme dat inbuilt meteorology!.
